August 2021 From the Canon Precentor It was all going so well! We had plans for four ordination services, valedictions, a celebratory BBQ and more, until sadly the number of musicians having to self-isolate increased and we had to end the choir term prematurely. We are incredibly grateful to Mike, one of our Choral Scholars, who was the only adult able to sing for the first two ordination services. He found out he would be singing alone with the girls an hour before the first service and he coped admirably, with most of those present remaining unaware of the drama unfolding behind the scenes. Mark Lee and Paul Walton responded to this unprecedented situation with equanimity and flexibility, for which we thank them wholeheartedly. On a very positive note, whilst Covid precautions are being maintained in the Cathedral, we have been able to re-introduce congregational singing over the past couple of weeks and we are looking forward to welcoming visiting choirs over most of the summer weekends. As you’ll see from this Music List, the hymns we’ve chosen are well-known but fairly low-key and they won’t be sung at full volume. We’re hoping to increase from two to three hymns on Sunday mornings in the near future. The Museum of the Moon exhibition will be in Bristol Cathedral for the second half of this month and several musical events are planned which will tie in with the lunar theme. Do have a look at our website (bristol-cathedral.co.uk/moon) if you’re interested in coming along to a concert, as tickets are going fast. The Cathedral Choir is on holiday until September and after a year like no other we hope this month will be a time of well-earned rest and relaxation, not only for all our musicians but also for the hard-working parents and carers of the choristers, to whom we owe so much.

We ask that all congregants continue to wear face-coverings while moving around the building, unless exempt. We ask congregation members who wish to sing hymns to remain masked while doing so.
